What Is AI Engineering?#
AI engineering bridges the gap between machine learning research and production systems. This track takes you from understanding generative AI and large language models through building RAG applications to deploying agentic AI systems with observability.
If you are new to the field, start with Introduction for a narrative overview before diving into the tiered tracks below.
What You Will Learn#
Foundations — How generative AI and LLMs work, RAG theory, and the LangChain framework
RAG Optimization — Advanced indexing, hybrid search, re-ranking, GraphRAG, and multimodal retrieval
Agents — LangGraph workflows, tool calling, multi-agent collaboration, MCP, memory, and production harnesses
LLMOps — Evaluation metrics, observability, experimentation, AI safety, and end-to-end system integration
Cheatsheets — Quick-reference pages for prompt patterns, LLM provider APIs, and embeddings
Exams — Summative theory and project assessments
Prerequisites#
None. This track starts from the fundamentals.
